Featured on NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams in their "What Works" segment, WGU is the recipient of the USDLA 21st Century Award for Best Practices in Distance Learning for 2008, awarded in recognition of their success in expanding access to higher education. TIME Magazine also called WGU "the best relatively cheap university you�ve never heard of".

Online degrees based on your skills and knowledge.

At Western Governors University, we emphasize mastery of essential skills and knowledge instead of accumulating credit hours. Progress towards your online degree is based on passing rigorous assessments (such as tests, projects, and assignments) that measure your skills and knowledge in your field of study. We call it competency-based learning. WGU's programs are best designed (well suited) for people with at least one year or more of college completed.

With multiple degree programs in education, business, healthcare, and information technology, WGU's rigorous yet flexible approach gives the university a unique advantage over other online programs.

Here's what the WGU advantage means to you:

An online learning and assessment model that gives you flexibility and control over your education.
A mentoring team committed to your success.
A trusted quality education from the only university to have ever received accreditation from four regional accrediting commissions.
Affordable tuition with the possibility of accelerated learning that equals lower costs for your education.

Challenging and efficient. These are the hallmarks of WGU's competency-based approach. Learn more today!

Accreditation Statement:

Western Governors University is the only university to have received simultaneous accreditation by four regional accrediting commissions. Currently, WGU's "home" accrediting commission is the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, the same organization that accredits such leading institutions as the University of Washington, University of Oregon, University of Utah, Brigham Young University, and other public and private colleges. WGU is also nationally accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC). The WGU Teachers College is the first and only online provider of teacher education to receive accreditation from the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE).

WGU's Nursing programs are CCNE accredited.
